Chapter 10 · free to read
Forty years of a man who called lieutenants expendable, and he moved to put himself between me and six gas pipes.
Vanity is a lock with the key taped to the front of it. He handed me a detonator to be called king for four seconds.
I had the switch, the room, and about a second of it. A stray round found the pipe anyway, because this city does not do clean endings.
We got out with Salvi in a car boot and Zaid Malbari nowhere at all. Behind us the mill burned for eleven hours, and he had promised me that was only the first fire.
